GDB 6.1.1 was released in June 2004 and is long obsolete. It does not
support all of the architectures that FreeBSD does, and imposes
limitations on the FreeBSD kernel build, such as the continued use of
DWARF2 debugging information.
It was kept (in /usr/libexec/) only for use by crashinfo(8), which
extracts some basic information from a kernel core dump after a crash.
Crashinfo already prefers gdb from port/package if installed.
Future work may add kernel debug support to LLDB or find another path
for crashinfo's needs, but in any case we do not want to ship the
excessively outdated GDB in FreeBSD 13.

The goal of the fib support is to provide multiple independent
routing tables, isolated from each other.
net.add_addr_allfibs default tries to shift gears in the opposite
direction, unconditionally inserting all addresses to all of the fibs.
There are use cases when this is necessary, however this is not a
default expected behaviour, especially compared to other implementations.
Provide WARNING message for the setups with multiple fibs to notify
potential users of the feature.

Add a note about always recompiling all modules on every new kernel
change / update. In addition, suggest using /usr/local/sys/modules
so this happens automatically.
freebsd-boot partition is not always the first one.
Following the instructions in UPDATING resulted in my overwriting
the efiboot0 partition on my laptop with ZFS boot blocks, which
had negative effects on the system's bootability.

Now that config(8) has supported include for 19 years, transition to
including the NOTES files. include support didn't exist at the time,
nor did the envvar stuff recently added. Now that it does, eliminate
the building of LINT files by just including everything you need.
Note: This may cause conflicts with updating in some cases.
find sys -name LINT\* -rm

For historical reasons, defining MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/make.conf has
been used to turn off potentially expensive debug checks and statistics
gathering in the implementation of malloc(3).
It seems more consistent to turn this into a regular src.conf(5) option,
e.g. WITH_MALLOC_PRODUCTION / WITHOUT_MALLOC_PRODUCTION. This can then
be toggled similar to any other source build option, and turned on or
off by default for e.g. stable branches.

It's rare for there to be two updating entries on the same day (once a
decade or so), but we have that here. Add the date to the second one
since devd and zfs are unrelated.
make copies instead.
There's too many times that we can't run the new binaries with old
libraries. Making the links when things are known to be 'safe' is a
nice optimization, but a copy of all the binaries is only 30MB, so
saving the copies at the cost of increased support when new symbols
are added and used as part of the bootstrap seems to be unwise.
There may be additional optimizations possible here, especially for
!FreeBSD hosts. However, that's beyond the scope of the problem I'm
trying to fix with make failing mid-way through an installworld across
change r363679. This optimization there caused us to run a new binary
with an old library once a new make was installed due to the symbolic
link. One could just copy make, but then other binaries fail as well,
so rather than play whack-a-mole, I opted to take us back to the old
way. Before r340157 or so we did copies (thogh of a lot fewer
artifacts), and we didn't have issues like this.

Some folks seem to be hitting issues with build orchestration; presumably
some of our .WAIT-removal optimizations are going awry, and they're ending
up with applications linked against new libc being installed before the new
libc.
Letting installworld complete the first time should ensure that the new libc
is installed by the end of it, then the second installworld will ensure
consistency as everything should succeed.
Some of the consumers in-base may make it enticing enough to ensure that
COMPAT_FREEBSD12, which is notably a fairly light option at the moment, is
included in custom kernel configs.

Now that we no longer have GCC 4.2.1 in the tree and can assume FreeBSD
is being built with a C++11 compiler available, we can use BSDL dtc
unconditionally and retire the GPL dtc.
GPL dtc now has FreeBSD CI support via Cirrus-CI to help ensure it
continues to build/work on FreeBSD and is available in the ports tree
if needed.
The copy of (copyfree licensed) libfdt that we actually use is in
sys/contrib/libfdt so the extra copy under contrib/dtc/libfdt can be
removed along with the rest of the GPL dtc.

As described in Warner's email message[1] to the FreeBSD-arch mailing
list we have reached GCC 4.2.1's retirement date. At this time all
supported architectures either use in-tree Clang, or rely on external
toolchain (i.e., a contemporary GCC version from ports).
GCC 4.2.1 was released July 18, 2007 and was imported into FreeBSD later
that year, in r171825. GCC has served us well, but version 4.2.1 is
obsolete and not used by default on any architecture in FreeBSD. It
does not support modern C and does not support arm64 or RISC-V.
Thanks to everyone responsible for maintaining, updating, and testing
GCC in the FreeBSD base system over the years.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
